It's just that I'm always looking for things that might make math a little more friendly to people like me who think more in terms of English than Math.:) I found when I was teaching that poetry helped kids to understand Math a little better.I'd use poetry to introduce a Math concept. <br /><br />Peggy, your life is so full of stuff. After being involved in a fire where there were two fatalities I can better understand your MC in the story. If you want to do some research on how people feel after being involved that way just ask me.<br /><br /> So sorry to hear about your mom's best friend.When we lost our neighbors we were heartbroken for weeks. I couldn't even talk about it without tears in my eyes. You might think about that for your MC when he talks about his mother. Just a thought. <br /><br />Anyway, loved the interview and the format. Did Vivian ask you questions or did you just tell about yourself?Barbara Ehrentreuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06317588534441254146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6349012017649158447.post-57315861170297264312010-03-06T11:02:57.638-06:002010-03-06T11:02:57.638-06:00Great interview!
